In the olden days
kids in hospital were given medicinal sherry to sedate them. Or maybe that just happened in Ireland... I know what you mean about the typing...

my grandma always
used to give us sherry.
And stilton.
oh, and sweets, of course.
but i still have a soft spot for sherry & stilton, even now. (and I'm actually 407 years old now - THAT's how long it's been)

I hate sherry
but I want to like it. My mum always has loads in the house, and I have to refuse and drink her whiskey and wine instead. Which is the wrong thing to do before dinner..
